Howl redux
Seems my post on Howl went all the way to some of the big boys. The route it took was via je_apostrophe (who, by the way, is really good at collecting interesting stuff). The post on je_apostrophe was only one line, and the most prominent link goes directly to the Swampwolf website. Unfortunately, it seems that some information got lost along the way...

Don Park wants to know where the Swampwolf sources are. My original post says [sic]

They've release the source on SourceForge under the BSD license.
I know this because I traded a bunch of e-mails with Scott Herscher at Swampwolf regarding the licensing of Howl.

Marc Canter wants to see this on Windows. The original post says [sic]:

The folks at Swampwolf have produced howl an open source Rendezvous/ZeroConf library that works on Windows and Linux
Not to mention that the screenshot that Don posted is the Howl Rendezvous browser running in the Internet Explorer explorer bar. There *is* open source on Windows, too.

One last detail: Swampwolf wants to provide this using the BSD license. The current source downloads have a GNU COPYING file in them (GPL), and they were going to change this in the download, but apparently didn't get to it yet. The SourceForge page does say it's BSD licensed. Stay tuned for more on this.
